Establishing the Cyber 9-Line

The Cyber 9-Line operates similarly to the military reporting used by battlefield medics to quickly and accurately report combat injuries while in the field. It represents the first step in the information exchange program (IEP) created in late 2019 under the direction of U.S. Air Force Col. Samuel Kinch, the National Guard Advisor to USCYBERCOM, and in partnership with the Joint Cyber Command and Control program office.

Currently most states and territories have Cyber 9-Line training planned or are establishing accounts. To date, 12 states have completed the registration process and are now able to leverage DOD resources against foreign adversaries and strengthen U.S. networks.

By better informing USCYBERCOM on the range of foreign cyber activity in the U.S., Cyber 9-Line enables the defense of elections– the number-one priority of both the command and the National Security Agency.
